Free inverse monoids are not FP 2
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 359 (2021) no. 8, pp. 1047-1057.

We give a topological proof that a free inverse monoid on one or more generators is neither of type left-FP 2 nor right-FP 2 . This strengthens a classical result of Schein that such monoids are not finitely presented as monoids.
